VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Joy Comes In The Morning!?!

Psalm 5:11 KJV

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. 

... So Stop Telling Me Foolishness About "Joy Comes In The Morning!" 

Have You Completely Lost Your Tiny Mind, Minnit!?! 

I Guess I Lost My Tiny Mind The Same Day That You Acquired Your Top-Lofty Mind, Mundane! 

Alright, Alright, ALRIGHT, Minnit! What's Your Beef With The King James Bible, The Preserved Word Of Almighty God!?! 

Since You Asked So Nicely, Mundane, And Because I'm Nice, I'm Going To Tell You ... In Great Detail! Yes, Great Detail! 

I Can Handle It, By God's Great Grace, So Speak Your Piece, Peaceably! 

Your Bible ...! 

... Big Mistake! I'm Not, Almighty God! My Name Is Mundane Miles And I Have Never Inspired Holy Men To Write My Words By The Holy Spirit! 

Thanks, Mundane, I'll Take The Correction! 

Very Well, Minnit, Say On! 

The Holy Bible That You Cherish So Much Is A False-Oath Taker  ...! 

... Are You ...! 

... Let Me Finish! 

Go Ahead, Bossman!  

... Because It Speaks  Out Of Both Sides Of Its Covering By Saying "Joy Comes In The Morning!" AND "Tomorrow Is Promised To No Man!" 

Both Of These Statements Cannot Be True At One And The Same Time! 

Says You, Minnit! Since The Lord Of Glory Uttered Both Of Those Statements, Then Both Of Them Are True! You Got A Problem With Them, Take It To The Lord In Prayer! 

Aren't You An Ambassador For Christ, Mundane "Big Christian" Miles!?! 

Well, Yes, Of Course, I Am, Minnit! 

So Explain To Me How Both Of Those Statements Come To Be True At The Same Time! 

Sure, Minnint! The Answer Is Simple: God Said, I Believe AND That Settles It For Me! 

That Was Wonderful, Mundane! That Was A Wonderful ... Cop-Out! 

No, Minnit, That Is The Good News Truth! 

I'll Tell You This Much, Minnit! Tomorrow Is Promised To No One Is For The Braggart Class Who Believe That The Lord Works For Them, And Whatever They Are Determined To Do, Is To Be Done, Because, Well, They Said So! 

"Joy Comes In The Morning!" Is For Christ's Followers By Way Of Comfort Because Of The Sorrows They Endured, Or Will Endure, For Jesus Christ's Name's Sake, And The Gospel! 

Before Joy, Jesus Said "Sorrow May Last For A Night BUT ... Joy Comes In The Morning!" 

So What Does That Mean, Mundane! 

Don't Rush Me, Minnit, I Was Coming To That! 

Jesus Is The Joy Of Loving Hearts, And Jesus Is The Joy Of Living! Jesus Is Also, And Ever, The Center Of Our Joy! Therefore, "Joy Comes In The Morning!" Is Jesus Comes In The Morning! 

We Wake Up With A Portion Of Jesus' Faith Every Single Day To Use For That Day ... Alone! 

The Lord Jesus Gives Unto Us What We Need To Face Each Day ... In His Holy Care! There Are No Claw-Backs From Yesterday Or Draw-Downs From Tomorrow! 

Jesus, The Captain Of Our Salvation, Has Promised Never To Leave Us Or Forsake Us, And To Provide For Our Every Need! 

Wherever Jesus Is, Is Love, Joy, Peace, Light, Truth, And Blessing! 

Our Job One Is, For Love, To Be Righteous, Honest, And Obedient, Because We Trust Our Maker At His Living Word, And We Know, By Faith, Not Sight, That With him In Control, We Will Reach The Haven Of Rest! 

Our Jesus Saves: He Loves Us: We Love Him Because He Loved Us First! He Is The Joy Of Loving Hearts! 

Okay, Okay, Okay! I Get It Now! Jesus For Joy! Jesus For All Our Todays! 

AMEN!!!

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Quotidian, Quotidian, Wherefore Art Thou, Quotidian!?!

 Psalm 68:19 KJV

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. 

Quotidian Relationship! Quotidian Prayer! Quotidian Praise! Quotidian Walk! 

Enough Already, Larkie! You're Setting My Teeth On Edge With Your Repetitive Use Of That Word! Please Stop! 

I Don't Know What You're Fussing About, Darnley! The Lord Jesus Used That Word! 

Stop Lying, Larkie! That Word Is Not In The Holy Bible! 

Is, Too, G. Raffe! 

Prove It! 

Well, To Be Perfectly Straight, The Word As Spelt Is Not In The Holy Bible But The Sentiment Is Plain! 

Do You Know What Quotidian Means!?! 

No! I've Never Heard The Word Before Today! 

Brethren, Quotidian Means Every Day Or Daily! 

Didn't The Lord Say To Pray Without Ceasing!?! And In All Your Ways Acknowledge Him And He Will Direct Your Paths!?! 

Doesn't The Lord Daily Load Us Down With Benefits!?! 

Yes, Yes, Yes! What's Your Point!?! 

My Point, My Friend, Is That We Must Be In A Quotidian Aka Every Day, Constant, Continual, Continuous, Consistent Communicative Relationship With Our Lord Jesus IF We Are To Survive The Coming Shipwreck, And Be Saved To Enter The Beautiful City! 

Remember, Dear Ones, The Lord And The Apostle Paul Were In Sweet Communion Even In The Midst Of The Storm Which Caused Sure Temporal Losses! 

I'm Convinced! Say That Word Again! 

Quotidian! We Have A Quotidian Jesus! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Indigestion!

Colossians 4:6 KJV 

Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

What You Ingest Is What You Digest, And What You Digest Is What You Express ... In Potent Form .. And Formation! 

Ingest The Living Word, Express The Saving Word ... By Grace Through Faith! 

Ingest The Wild World's Words, Express The Wasting World's Worthless Ways! 

That's Strong Language, Bro. Busey! 

These Are Terrible Times So There Is No Need For Holidays Hoops And Hollers! 

Just Get To The Point And Stick In The Pin, Right!?! 

That's Right, Gentilly! 

Sooo, Bro. Busey, How Did You Come Up With This One!?! 

Simple! I Heard A Long, Loud, Loose-Lipped, Ugly Conversation In The Public Square! Had To See, Forced To Hear, Made Me Squirm! 

I Wanted To Wash My Ears And Between My Ears, And I Had To Ask The Lord To Help Me Not To Allow Myself To Hold Any Of That Diatribe In Remembrance! 

Why Did You Make Such A Request Of The Lord, Bro. Busey! 

Simple, Sarah! Our Minds Record Every Single Thing That We See And Hear! Accessing It In A Coherent Manner Can Be Iffy Sometimes BUT, I Guarantee You That Those Things Which You Have No Interest In Retaining Are The Head Things Which Surface Clear As Day In Full Stereo ... And In Perfect Order, No Blips! It's Quite Disheartening! 

Remember, Brethren, To Guard Your Heart! Look Around You And See Plug Ugly Rising Rapidly, Loudly, Arrogantly, And Aggressively! 

Remember Computer Class: Garbage In/Garbage Out: Keep The Garbage Out! 

Do As The Lord Asks Us In Colossians 3:8! "But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth." 

Beloved, We Need To Get Past The Intellectual Christianity And Walk In True Obedience, In Working Faith, For Love Of Our Lord Jesus! 

Heavenly Father, This Is Our Earnest Prayer This Night! Please Grant Unto Us The Strength And Faith To Keep Firm Hold On Our Deeply Held Belief In, And Heart's Desire For, Our Lord Jesus, For It Is In His Precious Name That We, Humble, Plead! 

“Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.” Psalms 141:3 AMEN!!! Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Polishing The Pig!?!

Isaiah 55:7 KJV

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 

Sooo, You Ever Polish A Pig, Carman!?! 

Can't Say That I Have Since I Don't Do Pork, And I Never Played Football, Elvin! 

Me, Neither, But That Phrase Seriously Speaks To Me! 

How So!?! 

You Remember That  Scripture About A Pig Going Back To Its Wallowing Pit Right After You Spiff Him Up Real Nice And All!?! 

Yes, I See What You Mean And, Thinking About That, Pigs Are Unclean, Just Like Sin, And If We Extend That There Metaphor, We Done Gots Ourselves The Problem! 

Yes, Indeed, We Do! 

So, Carman, What Do You Think Is Our Problem ... In A Few Words If You Can!?! 

Well, Elvin, To My Mind, You Know That I Went To School Long But Not Regular, That There Polished Pig Of The Football Kind, We Should Definitely Call Sin! 

We Like To Hold That Pig-Sin In Our Hot Little Hands Just To See How It Feels ... Just For The Look-See ... Or So We Say! 

Carman, You Ever Had A Hard Candy In Your Mouth Convinced That You Were Going To Suck On It Until The Last Sliver!?! 

Been There, Done That, Failed Every Time! 

Pig-Sin Is Like That Hard Candy But Without Any Lasting Pleasurable Benefits, And With All The Undesirable Urges For More, Better, Bigger Marked To The Column "Leverage And Loss!" 

You Ever Hear People Talking About Their Pork Chops And Ribs And How Wonderful They Are, And The Pork Board Talking About The New White Meat ...!?! 

...  I Also Read That The Good Lord Said Don't Eat It, Don't Touch It, Because Pigs Are Scavengers! 

So, Who Are You Going To Believe AND Follow!?!  

Playing With Pig-Sin Is ... Transgressive ... Presumptuous ... Just Wrong! 

We Can't Pretty-Up Sin And "Entice" The Lord To Approve It! 

Carman, We Are Not To Tempt The Lord With Our Vanities And Pride! Our Ways Are Not His Ways Nor Our Thoughts His Thoughts! 

We Did Not Create Ourselves! He Created Us And He Said "Don't!" But We Do It Anyhow Because We Are Making Him Over In Our Image! 

This Should Go Over Real Fine On Judgment Day! 

It's A Sorry Maker, Creator, Builder Who Can't Dismantle His Mantle, Breakdown A Build, And Unmake His Makings! 

'Deed! 

It's A Shame How Quickly And Glibly We Ignore The Lord's Good Parts And Choose To Walk Wise In Worthlessness Because, Well, Why Not! 

Don't You Always Hear That The Old Saw Says That "Everybody Is Doing 'It' So Why Not We!?!" 

It Was Foolish The First Thousand Times I Heard It And It Is Still Foolish Today! 

There Ain't No Amount Of Applied Gold Paint, Pearls And Lace And Lipstick Which Can Make Pig-Sin Into Eternal Growth Stock! 

Sighhhh ... 

The Commandments Are A Light So Let's Walk In The Light That Leads To Life! 

You Ever Realize That Folly, Fools, And Foolishness Have Lots Of Fans And Followers!?! 

That Is Easy To Suss Out: The Bar Is Set So Low That Everybody And Anybody Can Walk Over Because No Stepping Up Is Suggested Or Requested! 

I'm Glad That The Lord Has Got Standards: Step In, Step Up, And Stand Out OR Step Down And Fool Around, Ignore The Frown, And Be Thrown Out Bound Into Outer Darkness With Those Who Believed That The Lord Jesus Was Someone They Could Clown! 

That's Imagining Vain Things! 

Lord, Help! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Leaning Takes Learning!

John 13:23 KJV

Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 

A Favorite Song Of Mine Is Called "Learning To Lean!" 

That's A Favorite Of Mine, Too, Cadence! 

You're Lying, Lexie! 

Nope! I Absolutely Love That Song Because It Taught Me A Great Bible Truth! 

How So, Lexie!?! 

Look At The Song's Title First Of All! Learning To Lean: Learn, Lean! Leaning Takes Learning! Look At Learning! Take Out The "R" And You Get Lean! 

Lexie!?! 

Yes, Dingus! 

Lexie, My Friend To The End, What Are You Going To Do With Or About The "R" So Unceremoniously And Unconscionably Ripped From Its Comfortable Haven Of Rest, Reflection, And Refreshing!?! 

Glad You Asked, Dingus, But You'll Have To Wait A Bit For The Answer! Take A Load Off! Rest A While! All Will Be Revealed! 

Listen Up, People! Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor And I Will Give You Rest! Who Said ...! 

... Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Cast Your Every Care On Him! 

Anybody Who Is Leaning, Aware Or Not, Has A Need, And In That Very Posture Their Learning, And They Are Learning, Is Being Revealed! 

Jesus Christ's Call To Us As Laborers, To Come To Him, To Cast Our Every Care On Him As Those Wearied By Life, Is Not Random Or Useless! 

That Call Is Specific, Direct, Useful, And We Need To Heed To Succeed! 

Brethren, We Are Called From Unfulfilling, Wearying Labor, To The "R" To Be Refreshed In The Redeemer's Rest Here, And Resurrected Into Eternal Rest When The Times Of Refreshing Shall Come From The Hand Of The Lord! 

Beloved, Please Do Not Be Swayed By The Rhetoric Of The Unregenerate World Which Approves Success By Self Aka Lifting Up Yourself With Your Own Bootstraps In The Boots That You Are Wearing Aka Make Yourself Great By Your Own Efforts Leads To Burn Out, Flame Out, Burn Up By Your Own Efforts Aka Do A Satan Special! 

Please Don't Do That! 

Jesus Christ, He Who Saves, Is Our Rest, Resurrection, Life, Our Rock Of Refreshing, The Living Stone, Rock Of Our Salvation! 

We Are Blessed By And In Him ... Alone! 

Peace!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Does Grace Do ... For You!?

1 Peter 1:13 KJV

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 

... There Isn't Anything Called Cheap Grace! 

There Are Those Of The Hireling Shepherd Persuasion Who Think Nothing Of Boldly, Basely, Brazenly Lying ... For The Adversary Of Souls ... To The Lord's Purchased Possession To Get Position, Hold Power, And Gain People To Their Place Of Pontificating! 

They Are Wolves In Sheep's Clothing! 

They Are Licensed Liars! 

They Are Jesters Like Judas! 

They Play The Part Failing To See, To Recognize, To Understand, That Their Part In The Play Is Leading Them Post Haste To Perdition! 

Sadly, The Less Than Vigilant Who Followed, Are Following Them, Are Following Them There! 

Lord Jesus, You Are Mighty To Save! You, By Your Sweet Spirit, Are Calling, Wooing, Working Unceasingly To Save Your People From Self, Sin, And Satan, And The Spurious Teachings Of Those Whose Consciences Are Seared By Hot Irons, Who Are Fattening Themselves By Starving The Loving Lord's Lambs And Sheep! 

Brethren, Beware The Salvation Thief AND Be Aware Of Almighty God's Saving Grace Sufficient And Enough And Able To Wash You Clean, And Wipe You Dry And Supple You With Oil Of Gladness, And Wrap You In The Love Of God Which Will, Under No Circumstance, Let You Go To Hell In A Handbasket! 

Listen To The Lamb Of God Who Takes Away The Sin Of The World ... And That Includes Yours, All Of Yours, Which You Confess And Heartfelt Repent! 

Christ's Pardon Cleanses Clean Indeed! 

The One Cleansed Is Strengthened To Remain Clean In, By, And For Christ Alone! 

The Soul Strengthened Is Preserved By Grace Through Faith In Christ Alone! 

The Preserved Soul Is Restored To The Faith Which Cannot Fail! 

Salvation Is Free, And To Be Free in Christ Is To Be Free Indeed! 

We Are Not Restored To Walk In Darkness But To Walk In The Light of Life, To Have Our Minds Enlivened, And To Be Quickened, Made Alive, From The Dead, From Dead Works, From All Things That Defile, That Separate Us From The Love Of Almighty God, Personified By Our Lord Christ Jesus, He Who Is God With Us! 

We Are Blessed! 

We Have The Blessed Hope! 

We Have And We Are In The Heart Of Him Who Alone Saves Us To The Uttermost! 

We Are Bought With A Price! The Cost Was Innocent Blood! He Did Not Stint, He Wasn't Stingy, To Pay The Cost! 

He Gave His All For Us To Have His All For All Time ... And Eternity! 

Cheap Grace!?! 

Not In This Life! 

It Won't Get Anybody Into The Everlasting Life Either! 

Christ's Favor Is Free! His Grace Is Freely Given To Us But It Cost Him Dearly! 

Learn The Difference And Use Your Independence To Accept The Unspeakable Gift And Daily Depend Upon Christ The King! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Defending God!?!

Psalm 25:5 KJV

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 

In The Spirit Of Gideon's Father's Defense  Of His Son: The Lord Can Defend Himself: He Is The Eternal God: What Can Puny Man Withhold From Him Or Do To Him!?! 

What Can I, A Mere Mortal, A Child Of The Dust, Blessed Only Because the Lord Condescended To Give Unto Me His Breath Of Life So That I Can Live And Move, And Have Any Being, Do To Force The Almighty God To Give Up His Goods!?! 

I Believe God: I Trust Him: I Love Him: I Honor, Worship, And Obey Him In The Times When I Can Get Over My Self Enough To Hear And Heed The Holy Spirit's Quiet Call To Life And Peace! 

Look, Larimer, I Am Not Going To Act All Religious And Righteous And Pretend That I Have No Need, Because I Do, That I'm Too Blessed To Be Stressed, But I Will Say With An Honest Heart That I Want To Ask The Lord, Just Like Job, 

"Why Are You Contending With Me!?! You Made Me, And You Know My Weaknesses And My Strengths! You Know, Before I Do, When I'm Going To Go Left, Right, Skid, Spin Out, Or Go Bums Up! 

You Know My Why When I'm Asking You When! You Know My Who When I'm Asking You Where! You Know My What When I'm Asking You How! 

Politely, Lord, You Are The Know It All, In It All, Good For All God! You Are The Good For Me, Here For Me, With Me God! 

You're Not A Crypt Keeper But A True And Holy Life Teacher! 

You Are A Secret Keeper: What I Tell You Stays Between Us!  

You Are The Promise Keeper: Your Word Stands Fast Forever! 

You Know Me, My Name, My Nature, So Why, Lord, Why Are You Stretching Me Out Like A Rubber Band!?! 

Oh, Lord, I Know, I Know! I Caused This When I Opened My Big Mouth And Asked, Pleaded, For Ever Increasing Faith! 

Yes, I Know! You're Right ... As Always! I Will Repeat It After You! "How Would I Know If My Faith Is Increased Unless My Present Faith Is Exercised, Tried, And Tested!?!" 

Yes, Lord! I Understand! If I Knew What You Know, I Would Choose To Be Led In The Path That You Are Leading! 

But, Lord ...! 

... There Are No Buts In God! 

Thank You, Father, For Reminding Me That My God Is, That You Are Real! 

I Love You, Lord! 

Thank You For Your Love, Lord! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Faith Can't Fail!

1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

Thank You, Dear Lord, For The Word That Works, The Faith Which Cannot Fail, The Truth That Touches, Teaches, Tries, And Tempers, And The Living Love That Will Not Let Us Go To Loss, And Be Lost! 

Bless You, Lord, For The Beautiful, Bountiful Blessings That Lift Us Up, And Beautifies Us With Your Peace! 

Thank You, Bless You, And Praise Your Holy Name, Lord, For The Grand Gift Of Glorious Grace That Gives Us Of Your Holy Love Again, And Again! 

Lord, I Am Not Worthy Of The Least Of Your Favor, But You Are Worthy To Receive All Of My Prayers, Praise, Worship, Love, And The Gift Of My Allegiance, Belief, Cooperation, Deference, Endurance, Fervor, Hope, Joy, Needs, Talents, And Watchfulness! 

I Beseech You, Lord, To Strengthen Me And Help Me Not To Allow My Freedom In Your Love To Become The Liberty Of License To Live A Lawless Life! 

Please Help Me To Ever Humble Myself And Pray And Seek Your Face And Turn At Your Reproofs With A Humble Heart Of Repentance! 

Please, Lord, Do Not Let Presumptuous Sin Have Dominion, Control, Over Me Because I Desire With My Whole Heart To Be Under My Lord Christ's Complete Control For He Cares For Me! 

Bless Me To Do Your Will For I Am Willing! 

I Love You! 

Thank You For Hearing And Answering My Prayer, For I Make My Petition In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Father, Helpppp!!!

John 16:33 KJV

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Dear Father, 

I Have A Real Problem! I Am Struggling, And I Don't Understand Why! 

Well, I Do Know, But I Find That I Do Not Want To Accept That As My Answer Even Though I Know That I Must If My Soul's Desire Is To Survive And Thrive In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

I Don't Like "Loose" Ends! 

I Like To Follow A Neat And Tidy Path To Tighten The Loose And Ease The Tight To Make For A Smooth Surface And A Comfortable Journey And  Existence! 

Father, I Should Know Better - And I Do - Than To Believe That Life In Christ Was Going To Be A Cake-Walk, Knowing The Experimental Relationship Between My Lord And I Would Make Me Privy To Alllll The Answers Before The Questions Are Asked, And I Am Aggravating My Last Nerve Because It Ain't So: Silly Me! 

Sighhh ... 

The Master's Words Said: Pray! Trust! Have Faith! Believe! Wait! Study! Don't Doubt! Endure! Look Up! Live! 

Simple Instructions! 

They Sure Are, But The Butfulness Is Terrific! 

The Unwise Make The Simple Profound! The Wise Make The Profound Simple! 

Lord, By Your Leave, And At Your Request, With Me Expressing My Sincere Need, Please Make Me Wise Even Unto My Own Soul's Salvation! 

I Have No Desire To Be The Fool By Fooling Myself And Saying With The Arrogance Of Profound Ignorance, "There Is No God!" 

You, Lord, Are God Almighty! 

I Know About, And I Personally Know You! 

Oh, That My Knowledge Of You Will Exponentially Grow To Fill My Heart To Overflowing, And To Share That Knowledge With Whosoever Is Willing To Hear The Good News And Act Upon It To Save Themselves From This Untoward Generation! 

Help Us, Lord ... Help Me, To Be Free Indeed ... In Christ Jesus, In Whose Holy Name I Pray And Humbly Plead! I Love You, Lord! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!
